When a club recieves permission to host a contest, it must enlist qualified officials for the event. Officials, including a meet director, must also be members of USA Roller Sports, and their qualifications are determined by commisions they hold. The level of commision is determined by training, testing and experience of the judge, referee and/or tabulators. Meet directors are certified by attending a meet directors certification program sponsored and conducted by USA Roller Sports.

You must become a member with USA Roller Sports. You may accomplish this by purchasing either a competitive or non-competitive amateur card or becoming a coach. Amateur card fees are $45.00 and coaching fees are $70 for one discipline.

The officials' applications are available on the website under the Resources tab (forms). Each applicant must indicate what discipline and type of official they wish to become. Upon filling out the application and meeting the minimum requirements, you will be sent the proper exam. The exam must be completed and passed before an official's commission will be granted.

You must read, sign and return the back page of the Officials Code of Conduct to the national office before your official's credentials will be issued. The Code of Conduct can be printed off of this web site or you may request a copy of the Code via phone or e-mail.
